Default Cheapest FH4 SANWA RECEIVER

Can anyone confirm if the cheapest sanwa receiver shows battery voltage on an mt44 and if the durability is actual less than the expensive models. IIRC the cheapest is a 47t model.

Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for them stateside, with a warranty. What recourse do you have buying from China? Unless I missed it and this is in the US.

I run the 47t in a nitro sedan with no issues and yes it shows the battery voltage on the mt44. Great receiver!!!!!


Pass you soon...

Thank you. Now I need to determine how much cheaper made they are, and if worth buying compared to expensive ones. Sanwa says the expensive ones are better quality and more durable. Crappy way if doing business if you ask me.

Seriously! How dare they charge more for a better quality and more durable product!

You got It, once you buy the best radio, you expect top quality receivers. It's one thing to have options, but durability should be top drawer.

Just remember that it won't work on an electric. Ok, it will show a voltage, but that would only be the (constant) BEC voltage, not battery voltage.

That's correct, but I'm worried about my nitro stuff, that voltage will be off the battery.

I have had no problems with the ones I bought. I got the 482's and also have the 472's as well. I have 5 total.

OK... Guys... The Rx47T is the Rx472. If you want to buy FH4 telemetry stateside, buy the 47T with confidence. It's the same thing.

As far as I understood, the 472 only supports SSL, while the 47T is for full telemetry including external sensors...

No. External sensors are Rx461 and Rx462. Rx47T is SSL telemetry with Sanwa ESC. No external sensors are supported.

The dirty little secret is the Rx472 and Rx47T are the same Rx. The sticker is different (more colors), if that counts for higher quality construction.

Ok... I had thought it was supposed to be some sort of modernized 461/462 ... but without external sensor support, you'd be right: just a 472. Although Sanwa keeps saying telemetry... (which they pretty much avoided on the 472)
